After Liu Ming fell into his trap, he immediately put away the map and continued to fly off into the distance.
Seven days later, in a strange black forest, Liu Ming stood motionlessly under a huge tree that was over a hundred feet tall. His eyes narrowed as he looked at the three green-haired monkey-like ghosts under the tree.
Of the three ghosts, one was large and two were small. The two small ones were only a foot tall and had light green fur on their bodies. The large one was four feet tall and had a dark green body. There was even a short green horn on its head. From time to time, it would bare its teeth and growl at Liu Ming in a threatening manner.
This was a low level ghost from the Ghost Hell Region, the "Rotten Horn Monkey".
An adult Rotten Horn Monkey's movements were quick and nimble. It had quite a bit of strength and could spit out a putrid air. With a bit of training, it could possess the strength of a Soldier Level ghost. It could be considered a pretty good choice for a Spirit Ghost.
Liu Ming shook his sleeve and the Soul Shackling Chain whipped at the larger Rotten Horn Monkey like a poisonous snake.
After letting out a few strange cries, the two smaller Rotten Horned Monkeys immediately jumped a few times toward the other trees to escape. Only the largest one revealed an ominous glint on its face. After dodging the black rope, it opened its arms and turned into a green blur as it directly pounced down from the tree.
Its ten fingers were jet-black and sharp. Before it actually pounced in front of Liu Ming, a putrid smell had already swept out from its mouth.
When Liu Ming saw this, he didn't dodge. Instead, he quickly muttered an incantation and with a wave of his hand, a scarlet red fireball flew out with a "Chi" sound.
The scorching heat of the fireball instantly swept away the putrid smell. This caused the descending Rotten Horn Monkey to be extremely afraid. After letting out a strange cry, its several feet long tail suddenly swayed and it unexpectedly moved a foot to the side to avoid the fireball.
However, at this moment, the black chain silently coiled back and tightly bound the monkey, who was caught off guard.
"Peng!"
Unable to move, the Rotten Horned Monkey fiercely smashed into the ground in front of Liu Ming. Moreover, due to the corrosive effects of the Soul Shackling Chains, the fur on its body began to emit green smoke. It couldn't help but let out a strange cry of pain that was difficult to endure.
Without saying a word, Liu Ming lifted his foot and tapped it on its head.
"Boom!"
Under the enormous pressure, the Rotten Horn Monkey's head immediately sunk into the ground. Its eyes rolled back and it fainted on the spot.
Liu Ming let out a light breath. He then bent down and grabbed the Rotten Horn Monkey. After placing it on his shoulder, he began to cast a technique.
Immediately, a grey cloud appeared beneath his feet, and he flew out of the forest and into the distance.
After half an hour, Liu Ming appeared in a cave far away from the black forest. He tossed the Rotten Horned Monkey on his shoulder onto the ground.
The entrance to the cave was built under a huge rock. It could be considered to be quite hidden, and the inside was several tens of feet wide.
When Liu Ming discovered it, it was completely empty. He didn't know what kind of large ghost had opened it and then abandoned it.
Ever since he had discovered the Rotten Horned Monkeys a day ago, he had searched for a secluded place nearby before making his move today.
Liu Ming looked at the Rotten Horned Monkey on the ground. After confirming that it was still unconscious, he took out a light black bottle gourd from his sleeve. He pulled out the cork and poured it onto the ground, causing a light yellow powder to flow out.
He held the bottle gourd and walked around the Rotten Horned Monkey once before drawing a light yellow circle nearby. He then walked into the circle with large strides and sat down cross-legged. He closed his eyes and began to meditate.
After a short while, Liu Ming opened his eyes again. His two hands began to quickly form a technique. Strength.
Strands of black gas emitted from his body. Moreover, it seemed that there was more and more of it.
At the same time, faint gray Spirit Inscriptions began to appear on Liu Ming's face, neck, and arms. They quickly spread to every inch of his body.
"Pu!"
Liu Ming's arm moved. With one hand, he brought the Rotten Horned Monkey in front of him. With the other hand, he pressed his five fingers against the top of its head.
Liu Ming muttered an incantation and the black gas on his body transformed into tentacles that danced wildly. The gray Inscriptions on his body faintly flickered and strangely surged into his hand. Finally, they entered the Rotten Horned Monkey's head and disappeared without a trace.
The originally quiet and motionless Rotten Horned Monkey was suddenly startled awake. Its eyes were completely red as it began to incessantly struggle.
However, Liu Ming's two hands were like steel hoops that firmly held onto the ghost without letting it go. Moreover, the gray Inscriptions on his body surged out faster and faster.
After a short while, the Rotten Horned Monkey began to spit out green foam. Its struggles became incomparably weak.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's face lit up and the incantation in his mouth became even more hurried.
However, in the next moment, the two sides of the Rotten Horned Monkey's head suddenly bulged with countless black veins. After expanding, it unexpectedly exploded with a muffled sound.
A green liquid immediately shot out in all directions.
Liu Ming was startled and the black gas on his body abruptly flourished. Immediately, it blocked all of the things that were shooting toward him.
However, even like this, a ball of black gas still scuttled out from the Rotten Horned Monkey's headless corpse. After spinning around, it flew toward the entrance of the cave.
However, when the black gas came into contact with the faint yellow powder circle, it bounced back as if it had hit an invisible barrier. Afterwards, it was like a housefly that randomly bumped into everything. However, it was unable to take a step out of the circle.
"Pu!"
A scarlet red fireball flew over and instantly submerged the black gas within the surging flames, turning it into nothingness.
It was Liu Ming who had thrown away the Rotten Horned Monkey's corpse in his hand. With a gloomy expression, he made his move.
"This is already the third time I've failed. I didn't think that subduing low level ghosts would be this difficult! It seems that the ghosts that were experimented on in the Sect were tested countless times and didn't have the slightest bit of ferocity. That's why they were easily subdued using the Spirit Communication Technique. However, the ghosts in the Ghost Hell Region are extremely ferocious, which is why they are so difficult to subdue. "Liu Ming muttered a few times. His words were filled with disappointment.
This was no wonder!
He had already ventured five or six hundred kilometers away from the stronghold. However, including the Rotten Horned Monkey in front of him, he had only seen three low level ghosts. Moreover, when he tried to subdue them, all of them had failed.
It seemed like he could only continue forward. Fortunately, even though he was already quite far from the stronghold, the beast skin map still recorded a few places where low level ghosts could appear. There was still a chance that he could subdue them.
Liu Ming could only think like this.
Thus, he slightly tidied up the cave and once again left on his cloud.
Three days later, Liu Ming appeared on a desolate highland. He was currently slowly flying at a low altitude.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound came from the sky behind him. At first, it was only a small sound, but it immediately became deafening.
Liu Ming's heart trembled and he hastily turned around to look. In the end, his face became incomparably pale.
He saw that the dusky sky ten or so kilometers away had suddenly turned scarlet red. Moreover, it was rapidly moving in his direction.
"Damn, I actually encountered a migrating Ghost Bee swarm! That's not right. This route shouldn't be along the migration route of the nearby Ghost Bee swarm. "
Liu Ming cried out involuntarily. However, he immediately threw all other thoughts to the back of his mind. He fiercely urged the gray cloud below him to madly fly to the side.
He clearly remembered that although this Ghost Bee swarm was frightening, as long as he was far away from its migration route, he would be able to preserve his small life.
However, after flying several kilometers to the side in one breath, he discovered that the red sky behind him was getting closer and closer. There was no sign of him being able to escape from the encirclement. He immediately began to complain incessantly in his heart.
For such a situation to occur, it could only mean that he had encountered an extremely large Ghost Bee swarm. Otherwise, a small Ghost Bee swarm of ten thousand or so would not be like this.
Without any other choice, Liu Ming could only grit his teeth and quickly cast the Light Body Technique on himself. Then, he retracted the gray cloud and descended from the sky. With a leap, he madly fled in the direction of the red sky.
Although the Soaring Sky Technique was convenient to use, it was impossible to fly too fast at full power. Naturally, it was not as good as walking to save Fa Li.
When Liu Ming madly ran at full power, his speed was even faster than when he was flying. In the blink of an eye, he became a small black dot in front of him.
At this time, the scarlet red sky behind him had just barely reached the vicinity.
He saw that the so-called scarlet red sky was astonishingly a strange red bee the size of a thumb. Their bodies were incomparably shriveled, but their tails had a huge, eerie, white bone spur. It gave off a feeling that was not cold but still made one shiver.
… …
Three days later, Liu Ming stood in the middle of a boundless black sand dune. Looking at the black sand around him, he could not help but laugh bitterly.
Although he had used all sorts of methods to finally escape the pursuit of the Ghost Bee swarm two days ago, in his panic, he had no choice but to dive head first into this strange unknown desert.
This desert was obviously a thousand miles away from the stronghold, so it was not marked on the map. However, he could feel a cold and oppressive feeling coming from the air. This was a place with extremely dense Yin Qi. It was very likely that there would be some ghosts here. Of course, there could also be some unknown dangers.
After thinking for a while, Liu Ming felt that there was no rush to go back the way he came. He would first look for suitable ghosts in this desert.
However, before that, he needed to recover his Fa Li, which was almost depleted of oil.
Thus, Liu Ming found shelter under a slightly larger sand dune and took out the black gourd. After pouring out some yellow powder, he drew a circle and sat cross-legged in it.
A day later, his eyes flashed with light as he opened them. The Fa Li in his body had mostly recovered.
Without any hesitation, Liu Ming once again summoned the grey cloud and flew into the air. With a flip of his hand, he took the Yin Luo Compass into his hand. Then, after randomly choosing a direction, he slowly flew forward.
Fifty kilometers away, a ghostly humanoid creature with only a few pieces of rotten flesh on its body was slowly walking through the desert. Its upper body was made of white bones, with only a few pieces of rotten flesh sticking to its body.
Suddenly, the sand beneath its feet parted, and two giant black pincers shot out at lightning speed to clamp down on its two calves. With a sudden tug, the humanoid ghost was instantly dragged into a large, unconcealed pit below.
After the surrounding sand was buried, the human-shaped ghost disappeared without a trace.
